Andy Murray
When: 21st September 2016
Location: The Hydro
Andy Murray will return to Glasgow to play in front of a home crowd in a brand new tennis charity event!
The world number two returns to Glasgow to play in front of home crowd, with an exciting evening of tennis and entertainment at the SSE Hydro on September 21st 2016!
The unique event, taking place on Wednesday 21 September at The SSE Hydro Glasgow, was the brainchild of Andy Murray, who wanted to build a legacy tennis event in the UK whilst raising valuable funds for two charities.
The City of Glasgow will play host to this new event where the evening will feature a Singles and Doubles match with all profits going to local Glasgow charity, ’Young People’s Futures’ and Unicef, the world’s leading children’s organisation, of which Murray is a UK Ambassador. The former Wimbledon and US Open Champion and current Olympic gold medal holder will play Gael Monfils, the flamboyant Frenchman in the Singles. For the Doubles, Andy will be joined by his brother, World Number One Doubles Player, Jamie, to play against Monfils and British Tennis icon, Tim Henman.
The evening will mark the first ever tennis event staged at the city’s state-of-the-art SSE Hydro.
My friend from Glasgow calls me boil.. he says it’s a term of endearment… is it true? Lol!
